TV Jamie Carragher is fever pitched

Fellow Scouser Joey Barton led the joking about the former Liverpool star’s vocals.

The QPR bad boy, 30, tweeted that Carragher sounded as if he had inhaled helium gas.

He tweeted: “Dogs all over England standing to attention every time he speaks. In Carra’s defence he does speak sense.”

Carragher, 35, joined former Manchester United rival Gary Neville, 38, in the studio to give his views on Sky’s Monday Night Football show.

But he seemed a little over-excited as his voice hit the high notes, with viewers also complaining that he spoke too quickly to be understood. Actor Rufus Jones, 38, star of the BBC4 sitcom Bob Servant Independent, messaged: “At a certain pitch Jamie Carragher’s voice is indistinguishable from a melodious Japanese Geisha.’’

Former BBC Match Of The Day 2 host Colin Murray, 36, now on TalkSport, tweeted: “Love how Carra goes helium when upset!’’

A Twitter user called John NOT Terry suggested: “Carragher should come with subtitles.”

And George McCartney tweeted: “I’m convinced that Jamie Carragher can actually communicate with dolphins.’’

Even bookmakers Coral joined in the fun, tweeting: “Jamie Carragher is in the studio. Subtitles can be found under the ‘HELP’ button on your Sky remote control.’
